Dear PHENIX programmers,

I would like to preface this comment by saying that I love your 
suite of programs. I have converted to a 100% PHENIX fan girl and 
am dragging the rest of my lab down with me.

I realize that you have a lot on your plates right now, what with 
all the bug fixes, updates, and bulletin board troubleshooting 
that you do. I am also primarily a biologist and have no 
comprehension of the effort required to keep everything running, 
but I do have a suggestion/request.

I was putting the finishing touched on the first draft of a 
manuscript today and thought to myself, wouldn't it me wonderful 
if PHENIX could generate that all important crystallographic Table 
1. You know the one that I am talking about with the data and 
refinement statistics. I am thinking a combination of PDB_EXTRACT 
and MOLEMAN where you input the log files from scaling and 
refinement and it outputs a handy-dandy test file with 
"parameter<tab>number that could easily be imported into your 
favorite spreadsheet (Open Office or Excel). I envision an 
interface with check boxes for the parameters you want to include 
and a place were you could input the resid of ligands for atom and 
b-factor counts.

Like I said it is just a suggestion, in case you find yourselves 
bored and with time on your hands.

Thanks for your time,

Katherine
